What Came Before: An Origin Stories Workshop

Tuesday, July 14 & Wednesday, July 15, 2026 | 6:00 – 8:00 PM | Fergus Falls Public Library

The small details of your life hold the beginnings of the universe.

In this two-day generative writing workshop, participants will transform personal memory into metaphor and story using a “Where I’m From” poem template as a starting point for crafting poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction.

Through literary examples, guided writing prompts, and conversation, writers of all backgrounds and experience levels are invited to develop drafts of their own origin stories in a welcoming and supportive environment.
